i recently had a waxing session (one of many), and for the first time have what i can only assume (i HOPE) is an ingrown hair. i thought that waxing was supposed to prevent them. AM I NORMAL?!?!?!?!

Yep, it's perfectly possible, and normal. After waxing, always exfoliate your legs. This just helps remove the dead skin hanging around, which may prevent the hair from growing out. It gets trapped under a layer of skin, and just keeps growing under the skin. It's quite gross when you think about it actually. But every time your in the shower use a loofah and give your legs a quick buff. Or, even out of the shower, I find a dry washcloth will work. This will remove the dead skin and even make your legs look a bit better.

You can get ingrown hairs with waxing or with shaving. Yes you are normal. Just exfoliate your skin after waxing to prevent ingrown hairs

Well done for waxing. I have been doing it for almost 20 years and the hair on my legs is just about giving up. Give the waxed area a good exfoliating every other day and then moisturise for a week after. It will become part of your routine eventually. And yes, you are normal.

Each time you cast off your hair, whether or not it be from waxing or shaving, ingrown hairs can occur. There is rather no strategy to avert it. To treat it that you may exfoliate your dermis a 3-4 instances every week with a loofah whilst you shower.

No. Big chance of ingrown hairs after waxing. You need to exfoliate the area regularly and avoid moisturising straight after the waxing. be careful cos ingrown hairs can get infected....really badly infected.

It IS possible to get ingrown hairs with waxing. The trick is to exfoliate and moisturise on a regular basis. I also use a product called INGROW-GO, which is brilliant at removing ingrown hairs.

Anytime you eliminate your hair, whether or not or not it's from waxing or shaving, ingrown hairs can arise. There's particularly no strategy to hinder it. To deal with it you'll exfoliate your dermis a three-four occasions every week with a loofah while you bathe.

Ingrown hairs can be caused by waxing just like shaving. Try a solution like "Tend Skin" to get rid of them. It works very very well.

every time you get rid of your hair, whether it is from waxing or shaving, ingrown hairs can take place. there is fairly no thank you to sidestep it. to handle it you could exfoliate your dermis a three-4 cases a week with a loofah once you bathe.

I wax all the time and this still happens. Gently exfoliate the area once or twice a week and this might help.
